Run Along Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Stay your distance.
Remember,
You declared me crazed.

And I've been trying to keep that protected.
From your accepted normalcy...
That has the majority of you,
Walking around in a daze.

And I rather keep my 'craze'...
Safe and masqueraded.

Run along.
Return to your conformity!
Since that is where you say you belong.

And your assessment has been right.
While the life I live,
Has for me been all wrong.
I agree!

Now run along!
I wish to keep my peace of mind,
With me peacefully all day and night long!
For as 'wrong' as you perceive it to be.
Leave me!
C-ya!

Oh,
Before you go...
Thanks!
